About Me

After spending 30 years in Sarasota, Florida Wade and his partner chose to live in an expat community. Relocating to Merida and the beaches in 2012 they (and their 4 Chihuahuas) currently live in Chuburna Puerto on the Gulf of Mexico.

Wade is an author, motivational speaker and entrepreneur. For almost three decades he owned a design and construction company in Sarasota. For 20 plus years he owned a financial and insurance agency. He also held a Real Estate brokers license in the midwest.

With his construction, financial and real estate experience, you will be ensured concierge service before, during and after the sale.

In 2013 he opened Yucatan Beach Homes, selling homes in the beach communities and in 2015 City Lights Merida to service Merida proper. His companies sell and rent homes and well as offer property management and construction services.

Wade and his staff take great pride in offering the best real estate services at the beach and in the city.
